Duncan Button is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by Dean Aspen. He debuted on-screen in the episode airing on 2 November 2009. Duncan was originally credited as Duncan Smith until he was credited as Button. In May 2011, it was announced that Aspen had quit his role and Duncan departed the series on 11 November 2011. Aspen reprised his role as Duncan for the sixth series of Hollyoaks Later in October 2013.
In July 2009, at the Hollyoaks Press Day series producer Lucy Allan revealed that a mysterious character called Duncan would arrive in the village. In October 2009, it was revealed that Duncan would be the godson of established characters Neville (Jim Millea) and Suzanne Ashworth (Suzanne Hall). In the same month it was announced that Hollyoaks series producer Lucy Allan had cast television newcomer Dean Aspen in the role of Duncan. To prepare for the role, Aspen revealed that he has to shave every day, as well as having to put on a stone and a half in weight.
In January 2010, it was announced that Lucy Allan had stepped down from the position of series producer and that Paul Marquess had taken over the role. It was soon revealed that Marquess planned to give Hollyoaks a "shake up", changing the production team and beginning a cast cull by axing three established characters - Neville, Suzanne and Josh Ashworth (Sonny Flood). As well as the axings, Emma Rigby who played Hannah had chosen to quit the previous year, bowing out in February 2010. However, it was revealed that the character of Duncan would remain in the series after the Ashworth's departure along with Rhys Ashworth (Andrew Moss), the family's eldest son.
